NBA Foundation, a $300m grantmaking initiative, supports nonprofits in underserved communities, focusing on Black people and addressing social inequality.

The NBA Foundation, a $300m grantmaking arm, supports nonprofits in underserved communities, including New Orleans' Youth Empowerment Project (YEP). Addressing social inequality and funding specifically for Black people, the NBA Foundation aims to create "evergreen" support by courting outside contributions in addition to the $10m each, 10-year commitment from all 30 NBA teams. This initiative is well-suited to have a lasting presence due to the league's longstanding connection to social justice.
